They don’t respect the people that keep voting for them, they know you think you have no other option and are exploiting it over and over. Whats the definition of insanity?
Not eating the rich
A lot of leftists don’t vote. The party doesn’t try to get the votes because historically the turn out is super low for leftists.
Strangely enough; not considering the leftists leads to more leftists.
If, by GOP base, you mean working class white Americans, I don’t think they’re actually afraid.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t constantly be taking away all the structural supports keeping them somewhat healthy or giving them opportunities to improve their lives.
If, by GOP base, you mean corporations and the billionaire class.
Then… yea, you’re right.
Don’t listen to their words: look at their actions. Also, follow the money will always be relevant.
And by GOP base, we mean capitalists and landlords.
Megadonors are the only base politicians care about.
Only one base will knock on your door, claim to be a police officer, and shoot you in the face.
I would say that actually we have no party representing the left. The Democrats are a kind of center right party on many major issues. But of course this all depends on your definitions.
No one mentioned the left.
Oh, I know. Terrifying 🙄

Because the Dem base doesn’t obey orders.
The GOPs vote for the Party’s candidate every time. No question. They drive old folks to the polls; they put up signs; they get petitions signed.
Dem voters are all over the place.
Every Dem candidate since 1972 could be mistaken for Ted Kennedy.
1972 Ronald Reagan would be too Liberal for the MAGAs of today.
yeah well at least everyone agrees the GOP base is scary, so that’s something I guess lol. There is still a cinder of objective reality we can all gather around, which is that the hardest right people in a country with 500 million guns are --shockingly-- a scary as fuck bunch.
I’m not scared of them because they have guns. I’m scared of them for the same reason I’m scared of a toddler with a grenade. They will blow up society because they thought it would make a cool splash in the pond.
